Pat Evans, Director International
Project for Nonprofit Leadership
University of New

Pat Evans worked in Eastern Europe (Lithuania, Latvia
and Estonia) where her primary responsibilities were
community building and the development of the nonprofit
sector as European Director of the US-Baltic Foundation.
She worked in Sarajevo, working with nonprofits
throughout Bosnia (Serbs, Croats and Muslims), to
develop a plan for the rebuilding of communities, by
creating a united public identity for the nonprofit

a plan to unite nonprofits from the Greek and Turkish
sides of the divided island. Pat has held
executive positions in Louisiana government, a Fortune
500 company and was a documentary film producer for a
major ABC-TV affiliate. Receiving national acclaim, her
documentary on the Louisiana wetlands was nominated for
an Emmy. As Director of the Louisiana Office of
Women's Services, she passed landmark legislation in
Louisiana, establishing some of the first family
violence, rape crisis centers and non-traditional
training programs for women in the nation. She built the
office into a multi-million dollar operation, receiving
national recognition for its employment and training
programs for welfare recipients. She founded the
Center for Women and Government at Nicholls State
University in Louisiana and was lead staff person in
establishing the National and Community Service in the
